Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich were dumped out of the DFB-Pokal in the most dramatic fashion on the road against 3. Liga side Saarbrucken.
The reigning champions of Germany fielded a strong side in Saarbrucken, which featured most of their regular starters including Leroy Sane, Joshua Kimmich and Manuel Neuer.
Bayern took the lead through Thomas Muller after 16 minutes, but the hosts hit back on the stroke of half-time to level the scores thanks to Patrick Sontheimer.
Right at the death in the 96th minute, Marcel Gaus put Saarbrucken in front with an impressive first-time finish to send the third division side into the third round of the German Cup.

The result will go down as one of the biggest upsets in history, with the hosts available at a price of 45/1 pre-match who currently sit in 15th place in Germany’s third tier.
Harry Kane joined Bayern from Spurs this summer with the hope of adding some silverware to an empty trophy cabinet, but has already been denied in both the DFL-Supercup and DFB-Pokal.
The loss marked their first of the season and question marks are undoubtedly raised regarding Thomas Tuchel’s tenure at the club so far.
Bayern trail Bayer Leverkusen by two points in the current league table in their pursuit to win a 12th consecutive Bundesliga crown.
